Frito Taco Casserole

 Frito Taco Casserole 🌮🧀

Ingredients:

1 pound of ground meat (chicken, beef, or turkey)

1 small onion, finely chopped

1/2 can of Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies mix)

1 packet of taco seasoning

1 bag of Frito corn chips

1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed

10 oz can of enchilada sauce

2 oz of cream cheese

2 cups of shredded cheese (any variety)

Instructions:

Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Heat a skillet over medium flame and cook the ground meat with the chopped onion until the meat is well-browned and the onions are translucent.

Stir in the Rotel and taco seasoning into the skillet. Let it simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Add the black beans and cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cream cheese is thoroughly melted and blended with the meat.

Mix in the enchilada sauce until everything is well combined.

Create a layer in the greased baking dish starting with half the Frito chips, followed by half of the meat mixture, and then half of the shredded cheese.

Repeat the layering with the remaining Fritos, meat mixture, and cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is hot throughout.
